Chapter 518 The Furnace of the Pressure Cooker

"Van Halen, heavy metal, do you listen to it?"

Although Nan Yi said so, he still picked up the tape and handed it to Liu Zhen.

"I don't like rock and roll, but my roommate likes Van Halen very much. When I lived with her, she played it almost every day, and I was forced to listen to a lot of their songs. Aren't they very popular? Why? Angry now?"

"Why do you say that?"

"The album tape has been tapped." Liu Zhen shook the tape in his hand and said.

"Hey, playing tapes has nothing to do with being out of breath. It can only be said that the distribution company's estimated sales exceeded the actual sales. There are too many recordings to sell, and the rest will be used for disposal."

As Nanyi said, he read all the tapes on the booth. They were basically the tapes of singers and bands who developed in the country. These foreign garbage should be shipped from the country.

"Boss, how much is a plate?"

"Four dollars."

The stall owner who was busy changing the holder for the tape said without looking up.

"It's cheaper, three yuan, I'll buy a few more boxes."

"Three yuan is fine, don't give it to the outside box." The stall owner looked up at Nanyi and said.

"If you don't give me a box, you'll have to pay ten yuan for four boxes, otherwise I'll be lucky."

"Sell from twenty."

"Success, twenty is twenty."

Nan Yi pondered for a moment, what he wanted was basically more than eight boxes, and twenty boxes would definitely be more than that, and he would have to wipe out a zero in a while.

Squatting down and continuing to rummage through, picking out what he wanted, he put his finger in the circle of the tape and turned it around a few times to see if there were any creases on the tape. If there are creases, you can’t take them, because they are easy to get stuck.

Slowly picked out a few boxes, took a few more boxes of what Liu Zhen wanted, and finally took ten boxes, bargained with the stall owner for a while, and won it for twenty-three yuan.

"Nanyi, we're at the gate of Beijing University, let's go in and have a look." After buying the tape, Liu Zhen pointed to the gate of Beijing University.

"Alright, let's see if Taipan Ren is here. If she wants to be, let's follow her to eat in the faculty cafeteria."

"What is Ren Taipan, now it's time to call her Section Chief Ren, and she will be transferred to the Student Affairs Office."

"Then it's called Boss Class. You see, in the army, no matter where the superior is promoted, it should be called the old company commander or the old company commander. It sounds intimate."

Ren Xia no longer works as a counselor, but has been transferred to the Student Affairs Office, where she is in charge of job matching, an office similar to the "Employment Guidance Center" in later generations. If graduates want a good job, they have to find her for activities.

Of course, it is those students who are not qualified to be assigned to good positions that need activities. Good seedlings are all rushed by various units. Instead, the unit has to go to Ren Xia to negotiate and make peace, just to get a few good seedlings.

Walking to the campus, you can meet students stranded in school everywhere.

Some stayed to study hard, and some wanted to go back, but could not go back due to the embarrassment of reality.

Although most farmers have no worries about food and clothing, they still don’t have a lot of money in their pockets. The contribution a college student studying abroad can make when he returns home during the summer vacation is really not as great as the saved round-trip ticket money.

Save the fare money and send it home, and basically pay for pesticides and fertilizers for a year.

Students who are far away from home generally do not go back during summer vacation, and may not even go back during winter vacation. It's not like I didn't go home for four years in college.

Difficulties at home, students themselves are also difficult.

Compared with Nanyi and the others when they went to school, the current university, the subsidy has not increased much, but the price has increased a lot.

In the past, the student subsidy was not only enough for myself, but also left some to subsidize my family; now I can barely use the subsidy for myself, and if conditions permit, the family will send some more money.

Not only is the price different, but the atmosphere has also changed.

Now, if anyone wears patched clothes on a university campus, he will be labeled a heretic every minute. It turns out that poverty is not honorable, but it will not suffer from naked discrimination. At present, the distance from the original sin of being poor is not far away.

"Nanyi, look, I've seen the skirt on that student in a department store. It's a set of one hundred and twenty." Suddenly, Liu Zhen pointed to a female student not far away and said.

Nan Yi glanced at it and said, "Imported materials are relatively expensive. The cost of making a ready-made garment is nearly 60, and the ex-factory price is 75. Why, do you have this dress?"

"No, I can't wear it now, so I'll ask Wenchangwei not to send it to me."

"Oh, I said so."

Wenchangwei Garment Factory will send a set to Liu Zhen when there are new styles to be launched. This does not belong to the welfare category, and Nanyi needs to pay for it himself.

In fact, in Wenchangwei, there is no such thing as relying on the factory to eat the factory. The finished products of the village enterprises will not be distributed to the villagers. Whether it is clothes or snacks, only children can receive them for free on a regular basis.

Moreover, this free fee is not provided by the village enterprise, but by the Wenchangwei Education Fund to pay the village enterprise. The children's welfare is actually provided by the education fund.

Although it seems unnecessary to put the left pocket into the right pocket, Nanyi is paranoid that he must do so.

Nan Yi hated misappropriation, and the budget was used for what it was, so it could only be earmarked for it. Even if the business in Wenchangwei went bankrupt, he would not agree to embezzle funds from the education fund to temporarily tide over the difficulties of the village business.

Unconventional flexibility, it seems that flexibility can create miracles, but it will eventually die from too flexible flexibility.

Because this kind of flexibility will only lead to "special things and special actions", this can be special, that can also be special, and in the end there are special things everywhere, and the rules can only be used to wipe the ass.

"He is Yaodong's brother-in-law."

"Okay, special approval."

"He is the son-in-law who just came to the village."

"Well, ah, there is nothing wrong with this, don't think about taking advantage of loopholes, just follow the rules of the village."

"Look, Nanyi, those white sandals are pretty, and they have a waterproof platform."

As soon as Nan Yi's thoughts drifted away, he was dragged back by Liu Zhen.

"That's not a waterproof platform, it's a booster pad. Hey, I said, let's go shopping on campus. Don't just look at other people's clothes, but also look at the books they are holding in their hands."

"It looks good. The students nowadays are much more fashionable than ours. At that time, the clothes they wore were similar. Only Xu Qian and the other overseas Chinese and the children from the big courtyard wore different clothes. Look at the colorful clothes now. , beautifully dressed."

"Actually, it's good to be the same. There is no comparison, and people will live more easily; now it can be different, and there will be comparisons, but how many of them can win the comparison, and most of them can only be a loser. .

I guess, in the next ten years, people will search for the meaning of happiness, and later, it will become the search for the meaning of life. "

"Nan Yi, you are too pessimistic. Isn't everyone's life getting better day by day?"

"Have you ever seen a pressure cooker?"

"The factory one?"

"No, the kind in the kitchen."

"I've seen it."

"It's good if you have seen it. Let's put it this way, the process of our growth is like stewing bones in an aluminum pot. The coal-fired stove stews slowly. The stewing time will be longer. During the process, there are several steps to remove the foam. , Add seasoning, poke with chopsticks and so on.

But the current generation is different. After being washed, they are thrown into the pressure cooker. All the seasonings are added first, and then they are put on the fire to stew.

When the pressure drops, the pressure cooker is turned on, and the bones are poured into a bowl called a society, where they are allowed to bounce around on their own. "

Liu Zhen thought for a while and said: "Your metaphor is not appropriate. It should be said that we are like weeds, growing freely, and we have to face the wind and rain by ourselves, but the current generation is refined planting, first planted in a model and then change them to a model one day, or transplant them into the wild."

"Well, almost the same meaning, Zhen'er, your wisdom is like a tofu bucket, your neck is like an ivory tower, and your eyes are like..."

"Whether you can talk, you are only a tofu barrel."

"You've wronged me to death. The tofu bucket is a good word. Think about it, the tofu bucket can hold so much. I praise you for being full of wisdom."

"The dung tank is better for holding, I praise you as a dung tank, okay?"

Nan Yi shrugged and said: "You can call me a sewer as you like. Let's go two steps faster, we're about to order the food, find Dapan Ren quickly, and go to the cafeteria to have some hot food as soon as possible."

"Hurry up, eat delicious food. I'm tired of eating pregnant women's meals, and I feel sick every time I eat them."

"Just have fun secretly. If you are pregnant, you will eat up a house in the middle of the mountain."

"Hmph, it's not that I want to eat it, it's not that you prepared it."

The two bickered and walked all the way to Ren Xia's office, making seven turns, and only saw Ren Xia in about ten minutes.

"Dapan, why is your stomach enlarged too?"

When Nan Yi saw Ren Xia, Ren Xia also had a big belly.

"Liu Zhen, take care of your husband and keep your mouth open." Ren Xia was very happy to see Nanyi and his wife.

"Hahaha, big class, you are less than five months old, you have a big belly." Nan Yi said haha.

Ren Xia's belly is bigger than the average pregnant woman's. Either she is pregnant with a giant baby, or at least two.

"Stop talking, I'm so annoyed, I went to the hospital for an examination, and the doctor said I heard three heartbeats." Ren Xia said with a frown.

"Really, Teacher Ren, congratulations, you will become a mother of three children at once." Liu Zhen congratulated her heartily, and then asked in a low voice, "Have you ever taken a B-ultrasound?"

[Domestic B-ultrasound equipment made a major breakthrough in 1983, and many imported B-ultrasounds were introduced in 1984. As for the popularization, it took around 1995 and 1996. ]

Ren Xia also lowered her voice and said: "I have taken the photo. The doctor said that there is one man and two women, but the time is a bit early, so it may not be accurate. Let me take another photo after a while."

"That's good. Whether your in-law's family likes boys or girls, they have explained it. I still don't know whether I am pregnant with a boy or a girl. Nanyi won't let me check, saying that he likes both boys and girls."

Liu Zhen said, stroking her stomach.

"Really? Is Nanyi deliberately reassuring you?" Ren Xia said in disbelief.

Son preference is still the current mainstream. More than 95% of the families want to have a boy, or a boy for the first child and a girl for the second child. Few of them just want to have a girl.

"Master Ren, I can hear you..."
